The site on Midland Road, north of Aubrey will accommodate up to 43,000 square feet of single-story building with 170 parking spaces. The site at Midland and Adrian would require a two-story structure and off-site parking if the ultimate 50,000 square foot facility was built.

He and Councilmember McIntyre; City Manager Bowersox; Alan Sugarman, Chair of the Parks & Recreation Committee; Bruce Kravitz, President of the Poway PONY/COLT Association and member of the Parks & Recreation Committee; and Dan Wiberg, President of the Poway Youth Sports Association, developed a concept of converting the fields at Community Park and Lake Poway to youth sports and moving the adult leagues to the new lighted fields in South Poway. In addition, it may be possible to create more fields by removing the fences between Valley School and the Community Park and Garden Road School and Garden Park and using the non-varsity fields at Poway High School. Also, we are in receipt of a letter from the soccer club regarding their needs, and their co~l)ents need to be addressed.

Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 11 PACKAGE WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On April 16, lg91, the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the construction of a package water reclamation facility north of Abraxas School. Since the County Water Authority has not declared a water emergency the city would have to follow more extensive environ- mental review and public bidding procedures which would delay the activation until after grading for SR 56 is complete. Additionally, the cost of the water generated by this plant would increase the water rate to the construction industry. Staff recommends the City Council defer the construction and direct staff to investigate the installation of a package water reclamation facility with the Old Coach Road project. Motion by Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Emery to adopt staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM 18 CITY MANAGER ITEMS City Manager Bowersox stated that the water savings for the first 20 days of May is 25% below 1989. We're getting close to our penalty point of 20% and the education process needs to continue.
